Baby name

More an "is it odd/weird" than unreasonable but I'm 5 months pregnant and have started thinking about baby names. I love the name Callum but have a younger cousin with this name and we're a close family so see eachother regularly. Would it be odd or likely to cause any drama to use the name?

It's fine. Use one L?

It should be 2 Ls and definitely start with a C
Nice name

nice name but i prefer the spelling kahllum

Me too!

What about Kaoi-lumm. It's really unusual-I only know two with that spelling and funnily enough, they are related too!

There is no problem to name your baby after a fam member. But if you think they might get sensitive, you can name him Caleb or callumet.
The meaning of callumet is: Straw, Little Reed
And the meaning of Caleb is: Faith, Devotion, Whole Hearted
